The List: Friday, April 26

What savvy runners will be talking about this weekend...

1. The human spirit, as exemplified by The One Fund Boston, established "to help the people most affected" by the Boston bombings. The fund got more than $20 million in donations in its first week.

2. Peace, as in the Peace Marathon, the brainchild of RW.com columnist Jenny Hadfield. Sign up here to "run, walk or waddle 26.2 miles in a day, a week or a month to raise funds for the One Step Ahead Foundation." You'll get a neat-o bib to wear, the chance to win prizes, and – if you donate at least 50 bucks – a hat. The (virtual) marathon starts Monday.

5. Hilarity, after hearing about George Zinn, a Utah man who emailed a bomb threat to organizers of last weekend's Salt Lake City Marathon. Police arrested Zinn, who reportedly described the email as a joke.

9. Accidents waiting to happen, which is the phrase that leapt to mind when we read about a Craigslist poster in Williamsburg, New York, who's seeking "a group of 30+ to meet daily/weekly and run the bike lanes together."

10. Race face. As it turns out, it runs in the family. Or at least in mine:

NOTEWill you be in or around the Lehigh Valley this weekend? Pop by the expo for the St. Luke's Half Marathon and say hi. I will be there, at the booth for the Runner's World Half & Festival, selling and signing my books Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Awkward hugs are free! Click here for expo details.
